9. Minimum 1 DI box and a couple of XLR/quarter-inch cables
10. Stage snake to connect to your soundboard
Getting your tracks properly connected to your sound system is an important step, and there are two ways of doing this depending on the equipment you have:
1. The easiest way is to use the headphone jack on your Mac, and use a splitter cable to split your 1/8" jack into two mono 1/4" jacks. Then connect the 1/4" jacks either into a DI box, straight into your soundboard, or into your Church's stage snake. Once you're in MainStage, make sure you pan all of your instrument stems hard left, and pan your clicks and cues hard right. This method is simple and quick, but doesn't give your sound guy control over each of the stems individually.
2. If you need more mixing control over each instrument track, you'll need to use an audio output interface that has minimum 8 XLR or 1/4" outputs (ex. Roland Stage Capture, Focusrite Scarlett 18i20). Then connect to your interface into your soundboard or stage snake. Once done, open up MainStage and assign each instrument channel's output to one of the outs on your interface in your desired order.
